In our case it’s the compromise between developers and a operations department which has 5 technicians to support the infrastructure of a municipality with 7000 employees and around 300 IT-systems. To manage our IT had to make certain infrastructure decisions and build their competency around those. This clashes with a lot of modern development, but we manage with docker and an increasing Azure presence. It’s not optimal, but sometimes it’s just necessary. Don’t get me wrong, we’re trying to improve and build Devops that isn’t handing off a container, but it’s a challenge in sectors where digitisation and IT aren’t priorities despite being an inherent part of any business process in 2019. There is a real danger in there of course, but we have strategic choices for our development platforms as well. They just need to move a little faster than IT.
